Back in Fallujah when he had a city and thousands of fighters and his own Shira council he did think he could be king, that changed after the second battle of Fallujah.

Our mistake with Sadr was never kicking him and the Madhi Army out of Sadr city for good.

Sadr isn't based in Sadr city. He's based further south. Sadr city is a suburb in Baghdad named after his father (whom he had killed).

Secondly, after the FIRST Battle of Fallujah, Z-man has effectively been on the run since. We've nearly gotten him at least 5 times now and it's thought we wounded him at the First Battle of Fallujah as well as in another engagement in Baghdad.

He's not stupid. Otherwise we would have gotten him by now. He knows that he can force things to happen, but he can't make them happen on his own.
